send telemetry data to different server

Post by srikanthvs »

Hello,

We have purchased two units of racecapture apex for testing. Our requirement is to log sensor + CAN data from a fleet of vehicles and transmit it remotely via cellular network.

We were initially looking at the podium platform but it looks like data will be sent to it only when a lap is completed, otherwise it wont record the data. The nature of our data is more like regular driving so there wont be any completed laps.

Is there a way to configure the device (lua scripting ?) to stream the data out to a different, custom end point through cellular (without the lap limitation) ? I believe the data is sent as a JSON, we can setup the server to do any authentication if that is a requirement.

Any other suggestions are highly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

The Podium interface is oriented around the concept of 'laps', correct.

To work around that, you can simulate laps based on a different criteria through the use of a Lua script:

You can disable lap timing in the Setup and then create a virtual channel for "LapCount" that increments periodically on a separate value, such as distance. This would create the effect of having 1 lap per every mile, allowing you to see the data in Podium for comparison.

We can create an example script for you if that helps.

Hope this helps!
